Still haven't heard that Atoms for Peace record yet. It seems I need to check it out. I was on the fence slightly, but having almost a whole page of this thread praising it has removed any hesitation I guess.

Peace - Follow Baby

When I listened this single I thought it was one of the 80's post punk bands, something I missed but for my surprise the band is a band that recently formed in this decade. Deep bass like Joy Division and bands with that sound. This is the song that is launching the band to the path of fame. I hope they keep making good works like this.

A lovely album consisting of traditional pop standards with an orchestral backing. The songs sound like they could very well be from an album recorded in the 50s, but the difference is that this album was recorded on analog tape in the early 80s and sounds spectacular (I'm not saying recordings from the 50s don't have good sound quality, many of them are reference quality in my books, just saying this album sound really, really good). I think I'm very picky when it comes to vocals but I believe this album is a must hear for anyone who is a fan of female vocals even if the musical style isn't quite up your alley. The version I have was mastered purely in the analog domain before A/D conversion which likely plays its part in the overall sound quality of the disc I have, but I would assume that any other release out there should sound really good as well unless they've been really butchered in remastering.

I would recommend checking out the Wikipedia article for those who are interested but not previously familiar with the album.

How is it? I've been wanting to buy the album ever since I saw it at my local record store, but I've been on the fence since I already have so many Arvo Pärt albums and not every single one of his compositions is a masterpiece.
